Selected Answer: B

A -> SCPs are not for monitoring or logging B-> correct After you enable the RDS Protection feature, GuardDuty immediately starts monitoring RDS login activity from Aurora databases in your account. GuardDuty continuously monitors and profiles RDS login activity for suspicious activity, for example, unauthorized access to Aurora database in your account, from a previously unseen external actor.
